felines are highly susceptible to the avian flu going around. if protecting wildlife wasn’t reason enough for someone you know to keep their cat indoors, maybe mention to them that outdoor cats could be extremely vulnerable as this continues to spread

a well-stocked onigiri vending machine in my house could fix me

Whoa he’s right

Saturday is all about drinking your little coffee and playing it by ear

Me helping on the interwebs again.

Last night on Critical Role there was a technical rules question and between player knowledge and trying to find an answer in the book Matt also tried to Google the spell interactions and started giving that ruling before like 10 seconds later realizing it was AI fakery that was totally wrong.

I'm fascinated by the new-age belief that the autism spectrum is caused by aliens seeding the earth with higher-level souls, because of the implication that some of these mystical, advanced souls arrived on Earth and immediately abandoned their mission in favor of getting really into Digimon

Asian countries handled COVID better as they acted on lessons from previous outbreaks such as SARS, doing hard work on policies such as normalizing mask wearing. Western countries are recklessly doing the opposite & making us more vulnerable to future pandemics by stigmatizing & banning masks.

How Did This Beloved Thing Get So Bad? a guy wanted to get richer What Happened To All Thos— let me stop you there. a guy wanted to get richer Why Is Th— a guy wanted to get richer Have You Noticed Th— a guy wanted to get richer Where Did— a guy wanted to get richer

It is 2075. I've lost my entire life savings to a holonet avatar scam that leveraged 60 years of collected chat, voice, and biometrics data to perfectly replicate the love of my life. My grandkids are asking if it's time to limit my holonet access. They're flabbergasted. They're disappointed in me

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

Things to think about when you're 'just playing around with' Chat GPT and those other tools.

"Just trust your body." Pal, I have an autoimmune disorder. My body is trying to kill me as we speak.

I often whisper 'hello ! i'm gale--' to myself because I just love the way he says that particular line. Anyways here are some little Gale of Waterdeep sketches! #galedekarios #galeofwaterdeep #baldursgate3

This deep dive on Netflix purposely turning movies into barely distinguishable forgettable slop is so insightful, researched & brutally hilarious. A must read if you want to really know what’s happening to the business AND culture of movies.

I owe so much of my music taste to the CD section of my local library growing up—and the other alternative kids putting in purchase requests. Go visit yours!

I've spent the past 5 years (almost) chronicling the spread of SARS-CoV-2 & the impact on our health in its wake-- Covid's direct viral effects and those that occurred indirectly due to healthcare disruptions and other unintended consequences of pandemic mitigation measures. 1/13

i don't think millennials and gen xers "feel like sellouts" I think authors think the job of "writing the book" is an entire fucking job and marketing it is a second entire fucking job and doing the first means you shouldn't also be expected to do all of the second

(drinking coffee) whoa this is just like twin peaks

Start your 2025 right and go support Elaine! 💚

If you want in on the bday discount, there're only a few days left in the month to jump on! A couple dollars a month goes a long way to making what I do possible & supporting my family while I do it!! So if you enjoy my lil doodles, my comics, etc, please consider becoming a supporter!

As someone with chronic pain and fatigue for decades: No. It is a text generator with zero fact checking capacity. Do not get medical advice from a fucking chatbot and do not exploit desperate people by offering them false hope. Stop calling it AI.

Children are not your tiny little capitalism soldiers. Children need unstructured time. The job of children is to play. Happiness should be factored in to what you want them to be when they grow up, and childhood is a big part of your prevalent mood as an adult. Let children be children.

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

SLEEPING POSITION: okay body you got there. sure would be a shame if it were taught a Lesson

At risk of repeating myself: The Luddites weren’t against technology. They were against getting put out of work by a technology that did a version of their job faster but worse, in the service of increasing profits for their bosses.

Bring back duelling so I can go toe-to-toe with every house flipper destroying places with their “white and grey everything for resale value” BS.

If you think climate protests are annoying and inconvenient, wait till you experience this. This is Victoria, right now.

Please remember that disability doesn’t take a day off. If someone you know has a chronic illness or disability and isn’t as interactive as you’d like them to be, please understand we’re doing our best. Our disability doesn’t take holidays.

A big shout-out to all the women who made Christmas happen by thinking what presents would make people happy, shopping, decorating, cooking and cleaning up, often with little acknowledgement.

Very important post. And has anyone else with an art following noticed that anywhere with an algorithm All the usual self promotional tips DONT WORK WELL ANYMORE. Posts go dead in the water. You can't seem to reach your followers.

You call it meal prep. I call it “I don’t know how to cook for less than 5 people.”

"but plagiarism is fast and convenient!" was not a good defense before "AI" and it's not a good defense now either

This is true of most cases. Mine would comfortably fit on a Zip disk
